Package: bridge-utils
Version: 1.7.1-1
Severity: important

I have bridge-utils configured on my Xen server (with SysV-init) and
after today's upgrade round and subsequent reboot, networking did not
come up again.
With that upgrade round bridge-utils went from 1.7-1 to 1.7.1-1.
That server has an iKVM module so I could still access it and found that
`brctl show` did not show any interfaces.

While I do have `net.ifnames=0` in my cmdline I (somehow?) was still
using `enp5s0` in my /etc/network/interfaces file and that worked before.
When I did `brctl addif xenbr0 enp5s0` I did get an interface in
`brctl show`, but it was named `eth0`.

After changing /e/n/i to use `eth0` instead of `enp5s0` and doing
`/etc/init.d/networking restart` everything was working again.
I know there were some changes wrt IPv6 handling, but I'm using IPv4.

The previous kernel was 6.1.4 (6.1.0-1-amd64) so I doubt that that
upgrade triggered this issue, so my guess is that it's 1.7-1 to 1.7.1-1.
